Giraffes are under threat, both in captivity and in the wild. Wild giraffes have been extensively hunted for their meat, but today their main threat is loss of habitat.
Wild giraffes live complex lives and roam large expanses, so being confined to small enclosures can lead to extreme frustration and boredom.
Help protect giraffes in the wild with an animal adoption and you’ll receive an exclusive adoption pack containing all of these items…
Your own cuddly toy giraffe to keep at home.
Toy may vary from one shown.
Including a personalised certificate, animal story, fact sheet and glossy photo to display.
A copy of our bi-annual Wild Life magazine with exclusive updates.
Adoptions last one year (those paid monthly by direct debit roll over until cancelled).
Adopters will also receive a copy of our Wild Life magazine, published twice a year, which includes
updates on our animals and the impact you as a supporter has helped to deliver.
We will process and send your order within 3 working days, and would normally expect it to arrive within 7 working days to addresses within the UK.
All UK orders are sent via Royal Mail 2nd class delivery. Please allow 28 days for delivery on overseas orders. Please note – we cannot hold orders for delivery on a specific date.
For overseas orders customs charges may be levied prior to delivery. We would suggest checking to see if these may apply before placing your order.
Orders do not need to be signed for, but come in a box which won’t fit through the letterbox so you will need to be available to accept the delivery. A card will be left if you’re unavailable.
The adoption certificate can be personalised with the name of your choice, and delivery arranged to a separate address.

Helping us to protect giraffes and their habitats with an animal adoption couldn’t be easier:
You can choose to donate either £3, £5, £10 a month, or a one-off payment, depending on your preference. The more you donate, the more we will be able to achieve for these beautiful creatures and don’t forget, we’ll keep you updated as we progress!
For those that want to go above and beyond in supporting our mission, you may prefer a one-off donation. Starting from £36, you can make a donation of any amount you desire.
Our adoptions last one year but with your help, we can make an incredible difference to the giraffe population and help preserve their population for years to come.
When you adopt a giraffe, you will receive a soft toy, as well as an adoption pack. The pack contains a personalised certificate, animal story, fact sheet and photo for display. You will also receive a copy of our bi-annual Wild Life magazine with exclusive updates.
Most importantly you help us prevent habitat loss, an ongoing crisis which drastically affects the giraffe's ability to eat and survive. Not only this but you allow us to be better equipped for surveying and monitoring so we can ensure we are doing the best possible job.
We have a digital magazine where you will be able to track the progress of your giraffe adoption. In addition, we send emails to keep you posted.

Adopting a giraffe helps support us in preventing their mistreatment and endangerment. Habitat loss has led to their population decreasing by 40% in the last three decades. With less than 100,000 giraffes remaining in the wild, it’s important that we help save their habitat for generations to come.
We work to stop giraffes from losing their habitat as a result of climate change by preventing crop loss and mitigating local climate change. Your adoption helps us to monitor the giraffes and ensure their habitats are sustainably cared for. These are just a few benefits your adoption can provide.
